Featuring NVIDIA-accelerated computing technology and independent Bell LTE connectivity, the new industrial automation controller empowers manufacturers to deploy intelligent automation systems faster and more securely than ever before. MachineMotion AI consolidates the work of multiple PLCs, seamlessly running up to 30 daisy-chained motors and coordinating robots, conveyors, and vision systems — all from a single, cabinet-free unit. This next-generation automation control system not only replaces PLCs but goes beyond their capabilities, such as powering autonomous robots, which require intensive, rapid computing capabilities. MachineMotion AI is compatible with leading robot brands, including ABB, FANUC, and Universal Robots. It delivers up to 3,000W of power and drives up to 30 servo motors via EtherCAT. "MachineMotion AI is truly a breakthrough automation control system," said Etienne Lacroix, Founder and CEO at Vention. "With built-in AI computing and independent cellular connectivity, manufacturers can deploy smarter systems faster — and keep them supported and secure without adding complexity to their internal networks. Our control system was built for modern AI-driven automation and robotics systems." "Bell is pleased to collaborate with Vention on MachineMotion AI," said Michel Richer, SVP, Enterprise Solutions, Bell Canada. "The low latency, robust strength and security of Bell's network ensures reliable and seamless connectivity for Vention's innovative automation solutions, empowering manufacturers to achieve their goals." Designed for AI-Powered Manufacturing MachineMotion AI is powered by NVIDIA Jetson and the NVIDIA Isaac CUDA-accelerated libraries and models, such as FoundationPose, which deliver the processing power necessary for compute-intensive AI tasks like real-time vision processing, bin-picking, and autonomous decision-making. Key features of MachineMotion AI include: Plug-and-play: Integrates easily with hundreds of motion devices and sensors — from robot arms and conveyors to computer vision systems and more. Compatibility: Integrates with leading robot brands such as ABB, FANUC and Universal Robots; supports leading industrial protocols, such as Ethernet/IP, IO-Link, and MQTT. Powerful performance: Delivers up to 3,000W of power and drives up to 30 distributed and daisy-chainable servo motors via EtherCAT. Connectivity: OTA software and firmware updates, as well as cloud-based monitoring and analysis, over Wi-Fi or Bell cellular connectivity. Secured and connected: Supports pull-based, over-the-air upgrades with Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity, with an ISO27001- and NIST-800-certified cloud platform. Compact and robust design: Housed in an award-winning IP54-rated enclosure with passive cooling and a 360° beacon light for status communication. Intuitive programming: Supports both code-free and Python programming, either in the cloud with digital twin simulation, or on the edge with the physical twin machine. Vention's MachineMotion AI is programmed with MachineLogic, part of Vention's powerful MachineBuilder™ end-to-end software suite for designing, simulating, deploying, and operating complete automation systems with full monitoring and optimization tools, including Remote Support. Built-In Cellular for Secure, Always-On Automation MachineMotion AI is the first Vention controller to feature built-in cellular connectivity, enabled through a collaboration with Bell, Canada's largest communications company, with expansive wireless coverage and long-standing agreements with trusted U.S. carriers. This ensures reliable connectivity across manufacturing sites in both countries, extending the reach and responsiveness of Vention's support capabilities. The connection operates independently of local firewalls and networks, giving manufacturers real-time access to software updates, cloud programming, system monitoring, and live support—without compromising internal IT security. Benefits of Bell-powered cellular include: Seamless OTA software and firmware upgrades Live access to Vention Remote Support, right from the pendant Cloud-based Vention monitoring and analysis dashboards for performance tracking and AI optimization See It Live at Automate 2025 MachineMotion AI will be showcased live at Automate 2025 from May 12–15 at Vention Booth No. 4432 on the main concourse at Huntington Place in Detroit.
